C1300-12XT-2X provides 12 copper 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections and two fixed 10G SFP+ uplinks in a managed desktop switch. The Catalyst 1300 model serves small-business and branch networks with non-PoE connectivity and Layer 2+ routing capabilities. Unlike the fiber-oriented C1300-12XS, this configuration concentrates endpoint connections on copper. The integrated uplink cages connect fiber links without a removable uplink card, while the compact chassis accommodates installations outside a full-width equipment rack. Specify this configuration when the purchase requires copper 10G connections rather than powered access ports.
C1300-12XT-2X price for new stock is $1,599.15, a 32.2% saving from the Cisco list price of $2,358.03. C1300-12XT-2X refurb price is $602.70. C1300-12XT-2X is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

280 Gbps switching capacity and 208.33 Mpps forwarding at 64-byte packet size provide separate throughput and packet-handling figures for traffic sizing. Static routing, RIP v2 and PBR support local routed designs; OSPF is unavailable. C1300-12XT-2X supports browser configuration and CLI access through a local console for commissioning. The Catalyst 1300-12XT-2X Managed Switch also supports network-based administration, allowing configuration work to proceed without relying exclusively on physical console access. Select the management method before preparing deployment configurations and administrator access.
ORM Systems offers C1300-12XT-2X new sealed or certified refurbished; Cisco's separate platform warranty is limited lifetime with return-to-factory replacement, while ORM provides up to 3-year extended coverage for new units, up to 1 year for refurbished units, and 30-day returns on every condition, terms apply. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, rated-speed links on every port, optics bay recognition, PSU status, fan status and clean boot, with firmware verified and configuration wiped to factory default. Specify condition and quantity on the PO, adding RCKMNT-CMPCT-1K= for rack installation. POs are accepted, government buyers have Net-30 terms, and enterprise or volume orders can include RMA with advance replacement.

When replacing discontinued CBS350-12XT-NA equipment, the relevant end-of-sale date is May 30, 2024, and the migration model is C1300-12XT-2X. Treat the refresh as a new hardware order rather than extending the older model's support schedule. Confirm existing cable terminations and replacement quantities before issuing the PO.
For lab or staging benches with closely spaced equipment, allow 76 mm of clearance around ventilation openings. Plan the bench layout before positioning adjacent hardware; the clearance requirement concerns airflow rather than network capacity. Specify equipment placement and cable routing before the staging purchase order is released.
When a spare pool must support sites in the UK, EU, US or MEA, regional stock and RMA handling are available for C1300-12XT-2X. Separate spare quantities from deployment quantities so each purchase line has an explicit condition requirement. Specify the destination region and required condition on the PO.
PoE power for connected endpoints
C1300-12XT-2X supplies no endpoint power. C1300-8MGP-2X offers eight PoE+ access ports, but has fewer connections and Gigabit or 2.5G copper speeds rather than all-10G copper.
OSPF dynamic routing at the edge
C1300-12XT-2X does not support OSPF. Catalyst 1300X supports OSPF v2 and v3; select a configuration whose access-port speeds and connector allocation also meet the requirement.

Highly impressed. The Catalyst 1300 is a powerhouse for high-bandwidth business applications.
C1300-12XT-2X identifies a Catalyst 1300 switch with 12 ten-Gigabit copper ports and two ten-Gigabit SFP+ interfaces. C1300 names the series, 12 gives the copper port count, XT describes the ten-Gigabit copper configuration, and 2X identifies the two SFP+ connections. The configuration is non-PoE.
Catalyst 1300 switches support a web UI, CLI through RJ-45 or USB-C console connections, SSH or Telnet, Cisco Business Dashboard, Cisco Business mobile app and SNMP. Optional Bluetooth access provides another management connection. Select the administration method and required console connection before preparing configuration and access procedures.
No, C1300-12XT-2X requires neither a software subscription nor a separately purchased operating license. A hardware order therefore needs no minimum subscription term or paid network-tier selection. Software updates are available without an additional license or service requirement. The same operating requirement applies to an ORM-certified refurbished hardware order.
Cisco has not announced an end-of-sale date for Catalyst 1300. C1300-12XT-2X remains available to order. C1300-12XT-2X-RF identifies Cisco-remanufactured hardware, not ORM-certified refurbishment; specify the intended condition rather than treating those labels as interchangeable when matching a replacement or spare purchase.
ORM offers C1300-12XT-2X new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to 3-year extended coverage for new units and up to 1 year for refurbished units. Every condition has 30-day returns, terms apply. Cisco's separate platform warranty is limited lifetime with return-to-factory replacement; ORM coverage accompanies the order.
C1300-12XT-2X replaces the discontinued CBS350-12XT-AR, CBS350-12XT-AU, CBS350-12XT-BR, CBS350-12XT-EU, CBS350-12XT-IN, CBS350-12XT-JP, CBS350-12XT-NA, CBS350-12XT-SP, CBS350-12XT-TW and CBS350-12XT-UK. Those models reached end of sale on May 30, 2024. Use the complete older regional PID when identifying equipment for migration, then specify the new switch's required order condition.
Catalyst 1300 supports eight-member Front Panel Stacking, and C1300-12XT-2X belongs to C1300 Family 2. Members must remain within that family, with network ports reassigned for stack traffic. SFP-H10GB-CU1M is a supported 1 m direct-attach cable option. Count stack connections separately when selecting cables and remaining uplink connections.
C1300-8MGP-2X provides eight PoE+ ports, while C1300-12XT-2X supplies no endpoint power. The powered model has fewer access connections and uses Gigabit and 2.5G copper rather than all-10G copper. Choose C1300-8MGP-2X for powered endpoints; choose C1300-12XT-2X when copper speed and non-PoE connectivity are the requirement.
C1300-12XT-2X uses copper for its 12 access connections, while C1300-12XS provides 12 SFP+ positions, including two shared with copper ports. The distinction is connector allocation, not a higher native link speed. Specify C1300-12XT-2X for copper-heavy connections or C1300-12XS when most links terminate through SFP+.
C1300-24XT offers 24 copper 10G connections, compared with 12 on C1300-12XT-2X. Four copper connections on C1300-24XT share their interfaces with SFP+ slots, so using those slots changes available copper connections. C1300-12XT-2X suits a smaller copper port count; C1300-24XT suits higher copper density.
